Non-profit group representing Americans of Ukrainian descent asks FCC to deny SpaceX authorization to put almost 22,500 satellites into low-earth orbit at least until further review.

Ukrainian Congress Committee of America says it's concerned about SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's "contacts with Russia and the alleged use of his Starlink system by Russian forces in Ukraine " The group also cited negative environmental impacts of SpaceX launches in Texas and Musk 's potential conflicts of interest due to his work with incoming Trump administration.

The UCCA had filed comments in April against SpaceX in a separate FCC proceeding.

The group took legal action to take Radio Sputnik , which broadcast Russian government propaganda, off the public airwaves in the U.S. , Belendiuk says.

He says the group's "focus isn't solely on Musk or SpaceX".
